Beschreibung

Strongman Eugen Sandow (1867-1925) was renowned as the world's "perfect man" at the turn of the 20thcentury. This book examines his fascinating 2-year "world tour" of South Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and China in 1904-1905, at the peak of European imperialism and rising Asian confidence and nationalism.
